Keeping a short internal note on sample order workflow for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Autopod S.

Checklist
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
